Compugen Awarded For Outstanding Sustainability Program

We’re celebrating here at Compugen.

Every year, Canada’s Clean50 recognizes 50 individuals that are leading the way in eco-responsible business practices. These leaders are judged over the previous two years to be innovative in creating market solutions to sustainability problems. The Clean50 are divided into 16 categories, and the leader in each category is specially honored as part of the elite Clean16.

This year, Compugen Inc’s Green4Good® program was recognized in the 2016 Clean16 – a huge honor for our company and a boon to our program. Called “outstanding contributors to clean capitalism,” the Clean16 includes major Canadian politicians, international thought-leaders, and our very own Steve Byrne of Green4Good®.

The award citation reads as follows:

“Moore’s Law and seemingly endless amounts of cheap storage, mean we are all constantly replacing our computers with later and greater — a trend that leaves in its wake an ever growing supply of used IT assets. Enter Compugen Finance’s Green4Good program, which, under Steve’s direction, merges the IT, environmental and philanthropic goals of corporate Canada by running an IT asset re-use and recycling program that has, so far, diverted over 580,000 different IT assets from landfill — providing 92% with a second life, and raised 1.2 million in cash for charities. Some of those “second lives” include providing PCs much needed by lower income families and charities. Win-win!”

Refurbished Technology – The Solution For The Future

green4goodThis is yet another sign that refurbished technology is the path of the future. Diverting toxic tech waste from landfills and using it to offer reliable, cutting edge computers to schools and individuals for a fraction of the cost is a win-win for everyone. And it’s our whole business model at Compugen Education.
